Capabilities

We are a nuclear services company and a leading provider of nuclear waste management services. Our nuclear services group provides various project management, waste management, environmental restoration, operational services, radiological protection, safety and industrial hygiene capabilities to our clients. We operate four fixed based nuclear waste treatment facilities which have the most comprehensive radioactive and mixed waste services nationwide.

WASTE SERVICES

Waste Treatment

State of the Art Facilities

Our waste treatment facilities develop treatment protocols for problematic waste streams, as well as provide the management and treatment of industrial, radioactive and mixed waste for government, commercial, medical and institutional organizations across North America, Canada, and the European Union.

Cradle to Grave

We provide total waste management services for commercial and government agencies throughout the entire waste life-cycle. We have been managing and treating waste for disposal since 1991, and with our network of four fully licensed and permitted radioactive and hazardous waste processing facilities, we are well versed in all phases of waste management. We plan treatment campaigns based on the designated disposal cell waste acceptance criteria and land disposal requirements, and based on our vast experience of managing wastes destined for all major federal and commercial radioactive disposal cells in the U.S. and Canada.

Protocol Development

Complex Waste Problems

We have a long standing reputation for developing unique treatment capabilities for the most difficult and complex waste streams. Years of treatment experience coupled with sound engineering practices, intimate knowledge of RCRA & TSCA regulations and on-site fabrication expertise has allowed us great success in treating a myriad of previously orphaned waste streams.

NUCLEAR SERVICES

Characterization

Innovative Rapid Survey Technologies

As one of the largest turnkey radiological support services contractors in the U.S., we offer advanced technologies supporting radiological and hazardous facilities for site characterization, innovative rapid survey technologies, Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) compliance, and Final Status Surveys (FSS).

Remediation

A Comprehensive and Turn-key Solution

Clients rely on our industry experts for their ability to manage complex projects dealing with hazardous and radiological contaminants while ensuring regulatory and safety compliance.

Decommissioning

Broad Experience Across Markets

Our project experience covers the full spectrum of radiological hazard environments from nuclear reactor containment vessels to radiologically contaminated structures and surrounding environments. We have experience performing these services under a wide variety of conditions, such as in ecologically sensitive areas, unstable structures in close proximity to historically significant structures, highly congested areas, and within occupied buildings.

TECHNICAL SERVICES

Health Physics Support

Quality, Professional, Safe

We are an industry leader in providing Radiological Safety and Protection, Health Physics Support, and Technical Services aimed at providing clients with best practices for the protection of people and the environment from radiological hazards.

Instrumentation

Calibration, Rental, and Repair

We provide rental, calibration and repair services for radiological and industrial hygiene instrumentation and possess one of the country’s largest commercial instrument inventories. Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, our lab is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring quality service and products.

Extensive NORM experience

Industrial NORM and TENORM sources are unique radioactive material sources in that they are relatively low activity concentrations combined with relatively high volumes. We have extensive NORM/TENORM experience in several states throughout the U.S including oil and gas exploration and production facilities and mineral mines. We routinely provide human health risk assessments, independent reviews, and evaluation of remediation options. Our team has responded to over 50 emergency response incidents involving rail cars contaminated with NORM/TENORM and has supported several site investigations at former phosphate fertilizer facilities.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Planning & Design

Engineering Services

We have provided ongoing, reliable engineering support to a wide range of industries including government, waste management companies, commercial facilities, universities, and more. We have the experience and knowledge to apply our core expertise to solve the environmental issues our clients are facing today, and to enhance their ongoing environmental operations.

Consulting

Decades of Experience

We leverage our waste services and our project experience to help customers find new solutions to their ongoing challenges.

Our services team can help you in a variety of areas including program development, information systems, EVMS, procurement, training, and more. We leverage our waste services and our project experience to help customers find new solutions to their ongoing challenges.

Project Management

ISO 9001 Certified

We have a model for managing projects, measuring value, and ensuring cost control during all aspects of a project. Our project management methodology has a track record of success and is ISO 9001:2015 certified.

INNOVATION

Technology Development

Innovation for the Future

We have a fully functioning radiological and mixed waste analytical chemistry laboratory which conducts treatability studies to enhance or develop treatment processes for unique or complex mixed waste streams. Since the laboratory is located within a licensed and permitted operating waste treatment facility personnel are available for consulting on scale-up issues that may be addressed during bench testing.

We are a global provider and industry leader in providing safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible radiation protection/decommissioning health physics (HP) services and solutions. Our experienced HP staff, including six certified health physicists (CHP) provide clients with best practices for the protection of people and the environment from radiological hazards including naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). Along with the largest HP instrumentation laboratory in the county, our HP staff have provided management and consulting to various industrial, utility, and government clients for more than 18 years.

We have a solid reputation of successfully completing complex nuclear and waste management projects. Our knowledge and experience of operating our own large waste treatment facilities together with the experience in the areas of project management and technical services, has allowed Perma-Fix to expand into a global nuclear services company.
